Neil Patrick Harris Says Ncuti Gatwa Will Be First Gay Doctor in ‘Sexier’ New ‘Doctor Who’
Ncuti Gatwa continues to make history for the “Doctor Who” franchise.
After being announced as the first Black Time Lord for the beloved BBC sci-fi series, Gatwa’s Doctor is confirmed to be queer according to his co-star Neil Patrick Harris.
Harris revealed on Variety’s Just for Variety podcast that Gatwa will “be the first gay Doctor, which is going to be super cool” and that the “Sex Education” alum’s take makes for a “sexier Doctor” in the series. Gatwa also played a gay role, as teen Eric, on the Netflix coming-of-age series.
“He’s glorious,” Harris teased of Gatwa’s performance, with the new season set for a 2023 release. Gatwa is the 14th actor to play The Doctor, with the role previously occupied by the likes of Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi, and, recently, Jodie Whittaker, the first female Doctor Who.
